I applaud the contribution that The Jackson 5 made to music (love em)
I applaud the contribution made to music by Michael Jackson
HOWEVER, I feel unconfortable with this OTT tribute
A FINE LINE

silly me
I know I am not going to be popular when I say this but it I personally think they should have had a private service for family and friends
Sold tickets to a virtual reality concert using the footage of the rehearsal tapes - you know like they did for ELVIS & SINATRA
This way the tour goes ahead and all those involved keep their jobs including the dancers etc.
This media 'place to be' Staples stadium thing is completely OFF
I am sorry but I have said it!
Keep both seperate PRIVATE SERVICE and MUSIC EVENT for those that wanna buy a ticket

If you mean all this hysteria Lil, then I am with you. But, Having said that, MJ would love it, especially when he was trying to convince us he was the second coming.
I was a big MJ fan until he thought he was the worlds saviour of children. The painting he showed Martin Bashir really freaked me out.
Even Jarvis Cocker said as much when he (Jarvis) jumped up on the stage and wrecked MJ's performance with all those children.Thats when I became uncomfortable with him.
But I can not take away his genius as far his earlier music and fantastic entertaining skills are concerned.But I can see in the not too distant future, people making him in to a 'religion'

I dont see a problem with a tribute concert.....Freddie Merc had one in Wembley and it was a cracking day. Axl Rose and George Michael...and Lisa Stansfield stole the day...lots of audience participatio and the sun even shone...sold the scarf and carrier bag and programme for a tidy sum on ebay too. 
I have no time for the whole Jackson circus....but people have the right to celebrate his life.

aww Lil I'm only teasing
I agree I think this whole memorial is going OTT. I liked some of his earlier music and he was talented.
I would have preferred a dignified funeral and a tasteful memorial at the Staples Centre but I doubt that will happen - it will just become an opportunity to generate more money for Jackson's estate
and yes Penguins Rule
This Staples circus thing is completely 
Haven't they forgotton something?
Millions of people out there are affected by the exploitation of vile creatures preying on children
Guilty or innocent - they should NOT be staging a celebration of someone that may r may not have been such a vile creature
A celebration of what?
Sorry I wuld not like to take any chances that I might actually be paying tribute to a srry excuse for a human being
There I have said it
PRIVATE SERVICE - MUSIC EVENT - TWO SEPERATE EVENTS - APPROPRIATE
MEGA TRIBUTE WORLDWIDE SERVICE + MUSIC EVENT -
NOT ON YOUR NELLY

YES BUT THEY WEREN'T PREYING ON CHILDREN FOR WHATEVER REASON
INNOCENT OR NOT - THE FAMILY SHOULD CUT THEIR LOSES AND HAVE A PRIVATE DIGNIFIED FUNNERAL
OUT OF COURT SETTLEMENTS DON'T MEAN INNOCENT
IF SOMEONE ACCUSED YOU OF SUCH A HENIOUS CRIME YOU WOULD TAKE IT THE FULL NINE YARDS TO PROVE YOUR INNOCENCE
I just feel that they are pushing their luck with this one!
The public have been rather good about this -
I dont remember outrage when he announced 50 odd dates at the O2....saying he shouldnt be allowed to perform posthumously ( so to speak) is bizaare.
The only ones interested will be his fans...like it or not he was a worldwide act.
I won't be watching it and it wont be bothering me. I have no idea what he did or didnt do.....and at least childrens charities ARE going to benefit from his estate.
Iran worries me far more.

Agree - I adored the Jackson 5
I liked some of Michael Jackson's slo stuff too - a genius!
However, I am sorry!
I am going to put my love of music aside and stand by the victims of possibly one of the most horrible crimes against humanity
What signal is this sending out to the world?
Celebrating a musical genius or celebrating a pd
file
Even the bad press alone - should prompt the family to have a private service
I really thing they are pushing their luck here!
Have a fantastic concert for the fans - but don't team it with the actual body of Michael Jackson
Absolutely TACKY to the highest degree!

podgorny didnt win by the way 
a video has been released from the larry king show of a reporter being shown aroung never neverland 'thingy' and they think michael jacksons ghost is in the film
the guide is just showing the reporter the bedroom with all the locks on the door

I'm still baffled about the option to buy
your ticket for the original concerts for ÂĢ85.00 instead of a refund.
How about giving the ticket to fans free of change, along with a full refund.
neverland - are you aware that the author of peter pan and the lost boys barrie had a fixation for young boys
yeah - nuff said
baden powell - no wonder he was against the introduction of GIRL GUIDES
IS NOTHING PRECIOUS
NOT EVEN SWEET PETER PAN

It's on you tube and was on here yesterday somewhere...ita shadow in the background walking....probably a workman.
With that number of staff I'd have locks too.

Yes...he had 60+ staff who could have walked in at anytime if they so chose....photos of him half dead have been bandied about the last week....I'm sure one of him laying in bed bald as a coot and wearing jim jams would have paid off someones overdraft.
YES I CAN SEE THAT PINT OF VIEW
I JUST THINK THAT IT IS SENDING SIGNALS OUT TO THE WORLD THAT HE COULD HAVE BEEN WELL DODGY CALCULATING AND EVIL - BUT IT WAS ALRIGHT BECAUSE HE HAD HIT RECORDS
MY HEART GOES OUT TO HIS FAMILY - THAT CHANGED THEIR FACES TO LOOK LIKE THEIR BROTHER
possibly to get more work - but it's tasteless twaddle

la toya came out at a press conference and washed her hands of him at one point
shame - can't good overcome evil and his family lay him to rest in a dignified fashion

What I understand even less is that people will go for it. People are committing suicide FFS. Time to get a grip. I can understand fans being sad, I can't understand people being hysterical and claiming to 'miss him terribly' Like he popped in for tea or something? You can't 'miss' someone you never met - all you ever had was music and videos and you still have these?
